A shocking video has emerged from China of a man beating up his girlfriend because she turned off his computer game while he was still playing it.

The man was playing the popular online game ‘League of Legends,’ in an internet café in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, when the incident happened, reports the People’s Daily Online.

The unidentified gamer repeatedly punched and kicked the woman before he dragged her to the floor by her hair.

Before the beating, the woman can be seen sitting next to her alleged boyfriend as he is engrossed in the game.

She then pulls the plug on the game and the computer screen goes black.

The 30-second footage then shows the man flip out. He stands up next to her and punches her in the face.

While she is still sitting down he continues to punch her then savagely kicks her.

As other people in the café do nothing, he drags her out of her seat by her hair and throws her to the floor where she stays as he walks back to the computer to continue playing the game.

After the video – which was recently filmed on a security camera in the café – was uploaded online it received many comments from other gamers about his behaviour.

According to the report, a famous online host of League of Legends condemned the man’s behaviour on Weibo with a post saying:

‘Even if the woman was in the wrong, there was no need to be like this. The man can’t be very good at this game, otherwise why would he care about the result of one game so much?’

Watch the horrifying footage below:

I have a few problems with this. First of all, the “man” in this video should have been arrested for the assault. Second, who on Earth can just watch a woman being beaten and, instead of helping her, films it instead? The patrons of that cafe are cowards and should be ashamed of themselves.
